Honing vs sharpening


Honing your blade is key to good knife care. Some traditional sharpeners strip away metal from the blade edge, this can be destructive to the cutting edge over time. Honing is the gentle straightening out of a blade edge. Robert Welch recommend honing knives on a little and often basis, for home use this is usually every three to four weeks.

Please Note: Suitable for plain and scalloped edged knives. Not suitable for serrated knives.
